Writing Help

At the Writers’ Studio, students can get individual and small-group help with all aspects of the writing process, whether they are working on a course project or something related to their personal passions. Staff members will help with prewriting, developing thesis statements, structuring ideas, revising drafts, and formatting bibliographies. They will not, however, proofread, edit, or act as a substitute for the ongoing relationships and dialogue students should be having with their faculty members and advisers.
